Any engine can be turbo charged, how much boost you can run depends on a number of factors( comp. ratio, cylinder head material, how much can you engine handle, fuelyour running, how much you want to spend). 6-8psi is normal for most kits, buthave seen stock engines running 10-12psiwith high octane withan intercooler or meth injection. Depend on make/model their might be a few kits avail. making it more economical to buy.
You can put a Turbo on your 1992 engine. You will need to purchase a air intake Turbo modification kit.
Well, the turbo charged car has a turbo hooked up to the engine. What a turbo basically does is to force feed the engine with more air + fuel, making it possible to get more power out of a smaller engine.
yes and yes, there are many forums and articles on google with this info, along with a good write up on suprastore.com
The Jetta engine should fitAnswerAny four-cylinder watercooled VW engine will FIT in the car; every watercooled inline-4 Volkswagen engine has the same bellhousing pattern and mounting bolt hole locations. The question is, which engines will work? And really, because of all the electronics in your car I wouldn't guarantee anything but another 1.8 Turbo would work.
explosion and possible risk of death.
look at the engine, is there a snail shell looking thing attached to the front of the engine...if so then u got one. ------ If your Eclipse is a GS or RS it did not come from the factory with a turbo. the engine should be on the passenger side of the car. That engine is a 420a. If you have an Eclipse GSX or GS-T then you have a turbo charged engine. the engine will be on the drivers side of the car. this is the 4g63 engine. it is possible to have a 420a with a turbo, but someone will have had to put it on themselves, and you would probably know that when you bought it.
How do you blow a engine turbo.
No, the turbo is powered by the exhaust and uses no engine power.
It is possible to convert you N/A diesel to a Turbo Diesel, but it won't be cheap. The gains you get for the money arn't really worth the cost. The only exception is if you can find a wrecked 300D with a turbo and scavenge the turbo and associated hardware off it. If you need more info please ask. I and doesn't disappoint you too much. As I understand it the turbo engine is updated with high temp valves and a hardened and/or oversized crank to handle the increased engine torque and combustion temps. I would recommend to just find a decent turbo engine and swap the whole thing. I hear you can find them for as low as $500 sometimes.
Yes, it is called twin charging. I believe it is possible due to the fact a turbo runs off the exhaust while a supercharger is belt driven.
Yes, this is possible. However, it involves a significant amount of components and systems not currently in the non-turbo car and it is generally easier, less expensive and more reliable to purchase the turbo car (if one is available).
Anything is possible, but it would take major modifications.
